Keeping Up with Ron, Sara, Jackson and Addie

A family update...

Addie:  I am sick.  I hung out with Grandma in the morning yesterday and when Dad came home from work early I was happy to nap on and off in his arms.  I was so tired that I had no problem telling my caregivers when it was time for a nap.  "Nigh-Nigh" I'd say.  I slept a good portion of the night last night on top of mom, acting as her little space heater with my temperature of 102.5.  And when I wasn't sleeping, I was keeping mom and dad awake with my screams, it's just painful to feel this way.

Jackson: I grew an inch and a half in the last three months, pretty soon I'm going to be taller than dad.  I've been working on listening lately and am hoping to earn enough stickers so that I can have a pet rat.  I can earn a sticker each day if I don't have any accidents or timeouts at school.  The last two weeks have gone well, but yesterday my friend Riley and I were stinkers.  When our teachers asked up to line-up to go inside after recess, Riley and I hid behind the storage shed.  Our friends filed back inside to the classroom and no one knew we'd been left behind until we peaked out from behind our hiding spot and another teacher inside the building saw our heads pop up.  I got in hot water for this stunt!

Sara: I'm experiencing the post-vacation-back-to-work-blues.  School is really difficult this term and I'm going to struggle keep my status on the dean's list at school.  I have some fun things to look forward to soon though; a night of scrapbooking with friends, a dinner out with old girlfriends and a casino stay with our friends Libby and Cory to celebrate our anniversary.  I'm looking forward to spring and hoping to start the painting/decorating process again in the house.

Ron is strapped with a few home repairs lately, keeping a close eye on our sump-pump and replacing our microwave.  He's been very busy at work and his hours will only be increasing over the next months.  Softball season is coming up and the family looks forward to getting out and watching some of his games.  He's gotten me hooked on watching seasons of Californication, we are almost caught up though, so we'll have more time in the evenings to get a few more things done and Ron will want to spend more time in the garage.
